I would like to say Trejon is an idiot.

造化之门 aka Gate of Fortune does not necessarily mean “good fortune”. When a doctor sees a seriously ill patient and if things depend on fate “造化” whether he lives or dies. When you read a foreign novel you need to take into consideration of different culture and language barrier before you insult it. Have some respect.

When you go “fortune telling” it’s not necessarily mean you would have good or bad. This is once again people like Trejon with false assumptions and incorrect... more>> misinterpretation of other people’s culture and language pretending to know it all.

FEMALE SPOILERS

This is in response to Trejon critical review.

GIRL 1 (Tian Mu Wan)

She was manipulated by her best friend Ji Yun who wanted to win the affection of our main character. The prologue is a vital catalyst to the story to show what happens when human suspicions and trust can lead to regret. If she trust him fully without looking at “evidences” place before her and value human trust more things would not of happen. But it was too late as fortune/fate only gives you one chance.

GIRL 2 (Ji Luo Fei)

What did Trejon even read? She was treated like a s*ave by the previous Ning Cheng but she was never sold a s*ave. Ji Luo Fei found her aunt who she thought was family who tried to setup a marriage between her and the powerful Shui (water) Clan. Nevertheless it did not happen and she is very faithful to the main character and refuse to listen to her mother, aunt and strangers’ lies about him.

GIRL 3 (An Yi)

She was taken away to an Academy that was much more powerful than our main character. Ning Xiao Cheng treated her like a sister and believed it would be the best for her considering how naive she was and how dangerous the world they were living in.

GIRL 4 (Huh?)

I got to say what on Earth was Trejon reading? This character does not exist maybe he got confused with two female characters not part of his companions.

Xiong Qi Hua (mother of Ji Luo Fei) turned out to have mu*dered Ji Luo Fei’s father and eloped with another man. They were seen together in Daan Forest.

Meng Yu Jing was seen by Ning Cheng having s*x with another man. Ning Cheng wanted to be sure Meng Yu Jing was worthy of accepting the treasured inheritance of her fiancé Kou Hong who died in Daan Forest. After finding it she was a sl*t he decided against giving her the things Kou Hong left behind.

GIRL 5 (Liu Hanyu)

She was a courtesan who developed a short friendship with Ning Cheng. He saved her but did not have any affection towards her. When she was hopeless and considered death he saved her giving her a new lease of life.

He respected her and treated her a human hence why he did not pay her for the tea she shared with him. Respecting her in a sense insteading of treating her like a prostitute and their interaction being more sincere than a transaction.

He treated another girl similarly by defending her (Su Zhu) who was considered a sl*t. Su Zhu was actually tricked into joining an Academy and only to be used by the man for s*xual pleasure. When she thought all men are the same playing with her and using her to satisfy their lust Ning Cheng turned out to be different and once again treated her with respect and giving her another lease of life.

Those who want a novel about harem and banging everyone of them. Please don’t read this. <<less

So far it's been exceptional, I have no idea why it's rated so low. Also, why the Harem tag?

There's never a lot of focus on any of the side characters, whether they be guys or girls. The MC is pretty much a party of one that runs into/makes occasional friends. There are a lot of close calls and slow leveling up periods. Don't read for humor, romance, or for OP moments. It's just a decent story with a good plot, character development and an exceptional author/translator team. Probably closer to... more>> reality than any other wuxia novel that is here on novelupdates, although it still holds strong to it's fictional roots.

Most of the poor reviews seem to relate to the side characters, which are mostly there for a period in order to provide more depth to the story and then vanish. This is a very long story with no end in sight and things progress slowly but the story is well written and there is good character development (although a lot of them come and go).

I don't see why there is all the comments about romance and harem, there is only one girl with the MC. The others are just side characters who either fought against or with him for a period of time, there are no relationships established beyond that... There are girls who are rescued by him and others who seem to be seriously interested in the MC, however that just seems to be plot development and the MC treats them like normal friends/enemies or just ignores them. Most of those girls tend to be around for about 30 chapters or so until the MC moves to another area and then they are never heard of again. This also seems to apply to other side characters with the exception of a few close friends/enemies and the fiance as the MC keeps on the move to escape enemies and to continue his cultivation.

Standard OP MC, but I really like this version of that. Read spoiler for more info if curious.

Spoiler

MC is gifted with photographic memory and an ability to understand & comprehend.

[collapse]

I like his personality and how he thinks. Although I haven't read much chapters atm, I'm confident in saying I'll enjoy this novel. Looking forward to reading more. Definitely worth the read.

This is a highly underrated novel, don't listen to those that only give it 1 star. This novel has a deep and intricate story that gradually pulls you in right from the start. If you're tired of OP MC that gets everything perfect right from the start, never makes mistakes, and always knows when someone is lying to them this is the novel for you. Not to say that the MC isn't smart, he really is, but he's also human, which is a nice touch imo, he'll have a lapse... more>> in judgement when reading someone, heck I've had one too
Spoiler

on one of the arcs he goes to this desert that suppresses the cultivation of him and the other two girls that's with him, one of them is from a emotion severing sect, and the other is from a higher ranked sect, they both say they love the MC but this was after the MC had to show some of the top tier treasures he had in order to save a friend of his and himself. So the whole arc in some way is figuring out and being on guard against them, because they could both be after his treasure or they could both want to be his Dao companion.

if you haven't read this because of the rating, don't look at that read it right away, I can't stop praising this novel for what it's doing. <<less

This story will give you a strong view that cultivation is hard, very hard. And cultivator can perish with a single little mistake. Live is not easy for mortal an its harder for cultivator.

The MC is depicted as being good righteous and loyal that pays good for good and evil for evil if you give him a drop he rewards you with an ocean. But that's all just a load of crap the MC is actually a self-righteous hypocrite with double standards. In chapter 507 ... more>>
Spoiler

he bought a beautiful woman as a s*ave at an auction (she is the Dao companion of his friend) this woman abandoned the friend after they entered the starry skies. She was also responsible for the destruction of his sect (his sect was also responsible for the destruction of hers and the death of her parents) but this is what she said "To destroy the Kun Yun Academy and eradicate the Tan Clan, after I met Jing Hao, I deliberately killed a few True Inheriting Disciples of the other great academies to rouse their anger and jealousy. Some of them were even the direct descendants of many important Academy Elders" the other great academies wiped out his sect but the MC didn't do or see Anything wrong with what she did, if it had been a man he would have been killed on the spot, he even went ahead and gave her cultivation resources, treasures and assisted her on countless other occasions.

I feel like people need to give this novel more of a shot. Yes the protagonist is unlucky a lot, but he is also lucky quite a bit too.

This isn't on the level of ISSTH or Daosit Gu, but its much better than stuff like ED and MGA. It's basically a solid immortal cultivator story, constantly getting stronger. However, this story for one at least has some emotional complexity unlike its contemporaries.

There are also some pretty cool world-building elements and I'm always a fan of stories with legendary treasures, niche... more>> fire powers and immortal mansions. For Xianxia standards the romance is even better than most.

If you're going to judge this novel please read more than 100 chapters first (in fairness to the writer and translater). Finally, I have no clue what TypeFantasyH is taking about when he discusses the bad luck of female love interests. Some of his points seem exaggerated or never even happened (e.g. No love interest was sold into prostitution - although the love interest of the protagonists friend used to be a courtesan & also definitely no/0% NTR). <<less

I must say that the story is good, I won't say that the title fits though, haha. I rather call it gate of misfortune but oh well. Depends on what kind of good fortune it is I guess, sigh.

This is probably one of the most underrated stories on this site. The only real reason people hate on this story is because of the difficulties the MC has in the beginning. I can assure you this story gets immensely better at around chapter 50-100, and even better further on. Do not be deceived by the skewed ratings.

Wow, why is novel rated Soo lowly... It's obviously an amazing novel but the people these days just like novel where the MC is super lucky, OP and never loses or has any setback.

For me this novel was an actual cultivation novel that showed how a normal person would continuously rise up from being the weakest to be the strongest, and where they actually retain their principles and don't get caught up in that cultivation world nonsense where they keep looking down on low-leveled cultivators and keep betraying comrades because... more>> of treasures <<less

I'm guessing most people who rated this low started reading expecting a super-powered psychopath (MGA) with women hanging off him like another Smooth-Che (ATG), or some reincarnated arrogant old monster in a child's body (ED). That's not how this novel works.

nothing comes easy for the MC and mostly he's too busy trying to survive and get stronger to bother with wiping out someones clan or "conquering" yet another woman. mostly its about a guy who's more unlucky than not, stumbling along through this alien world, dodging enemies, who sometimes show... more>> up for no logical reason (you befriended my brother so you must die... really? seriously?) and wishing he didn't have to run away all the time. his main goal isn't about face-slapping or fame, it's about getting stronger so that he can go back home and find his sister.

if your looking for a typical cultivation novel with lots of mindless action, golden fingers, plot armor, heaps of slavishly devoted beauties, and one lucky chance after another you will be very dissapointed here.

if you want a story that's interesting (so far) and a little gritty then give it a try.

i wont rate this yet since it has harem in the tag and most harem novels really seem to go downhill once the girls get really involved. at the moment I'd rate it a solid 4-4.5 (though it does have its redundant moments like all Chinese webnovels). <<less

I don't know why people are piling on with the negative ratings; this novel is good. It's very similar to Immortal mortal (obviously it's the same author) which is why I like it. Some of the reviews mention that the MC is unlucky but they couldn't be further from the truth, he gets luckier as the story goes along.

Read it, forget about the bad reviews it's much better than the ratings.

This novel is good, highly recommended this novel for those who wants a wise MC.. MC actually not OP he only has poor spiritual roots and the things that he only has advantage was the yellow bead, his luck due to meeting someone with things that is useful to him and his talent (photographic memory).

Looking for more chapters.. For now i'll rate it as 4.5

pros

    • okay mc
    • good premise
    • subtle deus ex machina
    • so far no harem in sight
cons

    • overly naive MC...i mean really? you just met a guy in a forest and already you are best buds, so best of besties that you TRUST him enough to give away a precious herb? suspension of disbelief RUINED. not only the MC but the author is an asshat naive BS scum.
    • again naive MC for entrusting his women to TOTAL STRANGERS when he could've AVOIDED them...i think the MC just have pimping tendencies because he was the one to just giveaway their presence so they can be both be noticed.... what an asshat, if you don't want to babysit them beeyotches---just say so... asshat
    • forced ex machina... there were a lot of WARNINGS NOT TO CULTIVATE magic spells if you do not have the necessary phlegm root... the d*ck MC just treated the warnings as fart... like his brain
    • again naive MC...40 year old virg*n easily succumbs to beauty... f*cking dipshit

Do not let these 5 star rating here saying People rating this novel 1 star cannot see mount tai fool you.

This is a horrendously written novel with arcs never being concluded properly. Reading this novel feels very wierd like when you are drinking milk but unexpectedly you swallowed a bone.

MC of this novel is worst of its kind, you will never feel so much frustration reading anything else. Like when MC is very weak he runs away from a place because he is weak but you know where he goes?... more>> He goes to much higher level place than the place he ran from, where high level cultivators who were lord level cultivators in previous place are abundant just to get his girl stolen again. I mean where is the logic?

This MC does not have brain but just goes with the flow sometimes he looks smart sometimes I wonder what his brain is made up with.

This novel is rated so low for a reason and if you read this you will figure it out do not let these 5 star ratings fool you. <<less

It was good in the beginning, but became worse, MC was plain s*upid, The author tried to show MC as some cunning character, but as typical Chinese novels, the MC for no reason sees a. Beautiful girl helps her and gives her everything. He says - wo it’s a brutal world I should be careful, but then again acts all might and plain idiot jumping into other peoples business. I don’t know it’s the translators fault or authors s*upid novel. Just not worth.

This novel is criminally underrated in my opinion. It seems to me that a lot of people don't like the start (when the MC starts off weak and poor) and their reaction is to drop it when the MC encounters misfortune and give it a 1 star review that doesn't do it justice and seems more like review bombing. If you give it a chance you'll find a great novel.

I've found it quite enjoyable and in my opinion if you give it a chance it's probably among the better Xianxia... more>> novels out there. Having said that everyone has different tastes and if your ideal storyline involves the MC getting hit by a meteorite and having an OP grandpa solve all your issues then this may not be the story for you! <<less

MC character is too good to be true. The title should be changed to "The Gate of misfortune". It is a story about a guy who doesn't have ambitious, was forced into cultivation world and surrounded by beauties.

  • He has a photographic memory but he does nothing to make his life better. Rather He work as a constructer as a part time job, seriously? Even you want to live a normal life at least make a better choice.
  • A rich daughter love a poor guy? Yes I get it because it is a fantasy novel but still her best friend also love him it is a little excessive for a poor guy surrounded by some rich daughters.
  • He got a strong cheat in "Cultivation World" but all he think about is going back to earth. I didn't finish the entire novel but it said that he is struck by meteoroid in the beginning of the chapter then he should be gone why he still think too much about the past.
  • side characters don't act like human.
